Louis Vuitton Monogram Pulp


Louis Vuitton has gone slightly street with their monogram pulp bag which looks to have layers of paint/print built up using masking and mixing up their signature logos.


This bag certainly challenges the middle class perception of this brand and its great to see that they are doing some more interesting stuff. But a company like louis vui can definitely afford to play around.


A close up look of the graphic application as seen on an ad in Numero Magazine no. 91


Definitely looks much better in the campaign shot than on the sales website!

kaviar gauche bag


i love this bag.

John Galliano Autumn/winter 2008/9

I am really feeling men's bags at the moment, these bags are hot off John Galliano's autumn/winter 2008/09 catwalks in Paris. They are rough and tough and very masculine. This is a returning trend - the ultra-masculine, coming through both in mens and women's fashion.


The leathers are dry and textured with imperfections. The colours are tough and the cuts of the bag look like they have been made by cavemen. (as do the models)

Raw edges and torn finishes with roughly placed studs and buttons make the look raw and wild.


This elongated messenger looks like it has a sheep skin interior lining worn across the body either at the front or back. The hardware has a hammered brushed finish and looks like it could have come from an old gate.

Givenchy Nightingale IT bag

The 'it' bag of 2007 some might say. This is the Givenchy Nightingale bag, still being seen about town.


The shoulder strap as well as the grab handles make this a really versatile construction. The signature detailing of the handle base shape make it recognisable. As an 'it' bag, i think its a timeless piece worthy of the title.

BAGALICIOUS, Lulu Guinness

Lulu Guinness at her finest hour. I love this bag. Its a bit of retro mixed with a bit of DIY. The frame bag construction with the tonal front pockets are quirky yet subtle, a perfect balance.
